The reverse scars will turn away a few potential buyers, but this is the only way to afford this type for many collectors. Similar coins have sold on ebay in the $350-$450 range (without the gouge). $300 is a good price, but I just don't think you would have as much action from type set collectors as you would from low ball collectors.

Jolteon1698 Valued Member United States 384 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 09:48 am Thanks for the opinions! I don't intend on selling this coin. I just wanted a type piece and maybe get rid of it in 20+ years Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 4:28 pm Unless this is a really rare die variety, this is not a "rare coin.' I have collected the early Half Dimes by Red Book variety for over 40 years. In my experience the 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime is the most common date in the series followed by the 1800. Unless this is a rare die variety, it's not "rare" per say. BTW there are 10, 1795 Half Dime die varieties. We only see two or three of them with any regularity. Overall there are four 1794 varieties for a total of 14 among the Flowing Hair pieces. I don't think that there are very any collectors who are trying to complete that set. I know I would not even contemplate it despite the fact that I love these coins. It's just too hard . Report this Post to the Staff
